How our food truck hire works in Ridgewood
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. At weddings and launch events, we can serve burrito bowls, tacos from the hatch and quesadillas and more.
Around Ridgewood, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. If the road in is narrow or the ground soft, tell us so we can plan. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.

FAQs for Ridgewood
Could you serve in Hempstead Meadow?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Which station should guests use for Ridgewood?
Uckfield station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we do not serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
How many guests can the truck serve?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
How much does food truck hire cost in Ridgewood?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan for diets before the day, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
The menu, item by item
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos made to order at the hatch, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushroom.

How we price food truck hire
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- Timings and hours
- Whether you need disposables
- Serving staff
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Occasions we cater for in Ridgewood
Mixed diets are easy to plan, since vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices come from the same hatch.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. In Ridgewood, you could book us for events such as:
- Leaving dos and retirements
- Launch events
- Parties in venue grounds

Before you plan a private event in Hempstead Meadow, ask whoever manages it about vehicles on site.
Before you book anyone
- How bad weather is handled
- How long the service runs
- Space, access, power and water needs
- Payment terms and deposit
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. December events in Ridgewood lose the light at about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
Comparing your options
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different while staying easy to eat. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
